In this episode we speak with Michael Pettingale who graduated from King’s with a degree in History in 2015. Michael completed his legal training whilst working in local government and is now working for the Government Legal Department. Michael is currently in his fourth and final seat of his training contract, working at the Department for Levelling Up Housing and Communities.
We explore the differences between training and working as a lawyer for the government vs private practice. We also discuss developing practical skills from volunteering at Citizens Advice, transferable academic skills, and the experience of studying in London.
